Don't Look Back

t's dark.

Light fails, it's cold and I am not needed, but I stay.

I have nothing to offer but love. I can give nothing but me.  It's not enough.

There are demons hunting you, haunting you, following you wherever you go and I can't see them, I don't know who they are or what they want but I feel their presence.

I feel them pulling at you,  demanding your attention, draining you and pulling you down and I can't save you, I can only stand by in silence and feel you fade away.  Feel you withdraw and put up walls that separate us. I can only stay where you left me and wait for you to come back.

What you don't know is that your flight is my fight, your pain is my pain, your war is mine and I am ready to stand by you, to face the demons and weather the storms that will come. I'm right here.

Maybe I can't help, but use me. Spill your secrets into me. I know it's heavy, I know I will suffer as a result. I know I will be shaken. I know I will have to be strong and take it all without blinking. I will have to stay still and let you tell everything and perhaps find a small measure of peace in doing so.
